@Cade Andersen  If you are going to do it yourself, make a list and go to a building supply store to price it out. 

I plumbed the gas supply line and the cold water inlet to the gas heater, routed hot water out of the gas heater into the electric heater, then installed the vent through the roof to vent the exhaust. 

Also, make sure you build in enough for janitor/maintenance/repair/cleaning/decorating/supplies/management (even if it's you now)/Misc.

There's more demand than supply.

I fronted the +3k in supplies and labor and got it back up to an inhabitable status.

And after messing around with the washing machine in another unit for a couple hours, I've decided we will no longer supply this amenity to new tenants.

Criminals are quite lazy by nature, and many will look for lower hanging fruit.Check the storage units supply companies online. 

Hi All,We got an email this morning from a tenant who ran into the water supply main for the building with his car last night. 

An example of the opposite of this would be movement towards rent control, for example the recent legislation passed in New York City.At a high level, you are looking for positive trends that influence supply and demand in your favor. 

You may also be able to claim portion of repairs or other supplies used in your business.
